100 Series General Tech and Classifieds

Chef Lou got the 2006 LX with all the Slee goodies that was on Craigslist a few weeks ago.

Got a screaming deal on it. Less than value of a stock '06 with 100,000 miles IMO.

Slee front, Warn 9500, drop kit, OME heavy, Slee sliders and rear bumper.

Tires are clapped out. I think the front end is way way out of whack so Chris has some work to do.

He's likely going to get 295's like I have. He's leaning toward the Toyos like Bomar has.

Great looking truck. 90k service done. Happy he got it.

 

[Bomar]

Toyo's all day long.....

That is a badass truck.

Very nice truck. Find out what wheel spacers he's running...any vibrations, issues, etc.

 

[wngrog]

There are no spacers. The wheels are just wide. The tires are toast. I think the front is so out of whack there is no way to tell till all that is done.

Toyota dealer did the OME. It looks like they just capped it off.

In this size (he only drives in the city and wants big meats) I think the Toyo AT2 is the best looking tire.

Can you believe what these things cost new?

 

[Bomar]

The offset of the wheels are not right

 

[wngrog]

The offset of the wheels are not right

But if you get it aligned, wouldn't that be like running spacers?

 

[ntsaint]

Cannot believe those wheels don't have spacers. Thats crazy.

I have the sticker for my 06 LC somewhere. That Lexus was waaay more.

 

[wngrog]

The wheels are Discount Tire brand MB 18x8.5" 10 Offset

I think it is the design that makes them look so wide. The damn tires are really wide. And clapped out.

Did he sell his 80?

View attachment 1069058 The tires are toast.

And clapped out.

Sounds like he might need new tires. LOVE my AT2s

 

[wngrog]

Did he sell his 80?

I think he has a line of people interested. Asking $9200. New 315 KO2s

 

[MScruiser]

That is a good looking 100. And yeah, these new fangled TLCs aren't cheap.

My vote (if he is staying with 295s) is Goodyear Duratracs. Great on-road handling and very little noise.

On a slightly similar note, I am going to go to his restaurant for the first time this weekend. I am really looking forward to it.

Chris got the LX nicely sorted out. Raised the front a bit, trimmed the inner fenders and installed 295-70-18 Nitto TG2's

Louis says it drives perfect now. We are going to twist it up Sunday to see if the wider wheels still keep the tires in the fenders when they stuff

49Tire, Baby!

Met Lou at the gun show. G2s look sweet.

Picked up Will at the Braves game.

 

[Bomar]

That truck is sweet. Wheels look great now.

 

[wngrog]

Fresh tires. Gonna try to twist it up later.

Put a tape on the tires. They look lots bigger than mine. May not be. Fresh tread......

 

[Bomar]

Check your "turn stops" Steering limiters.....what ever they are called. I had lost one and got some rubbing on passenger side and I think aggravated the steering box. She got a healthy dose of Lucas and no drips so far but she is moist.

[wngrog]

Interesting......didn't even know they were there.
